Inhaled corticosteroids in children: Effects on bone mineral density and growth
2014, The Lancet Respiratory MedicineCitation Excerpt :Whether the decrease in growth for infants receiving inhaled corticosteroids affects adult height is unknown, but findings from this 2-year trial with 2-year follow-up provide some reassurance that many of these young children are able to catch up.42 Asthma and allergies can reduce growth in children.50–53 Findings from the CAMP study18 showed that atopic status and increased duration of asthma before enrolment were independent risk factors for decreased adult height.
Effects of glucocorticoids on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in children and adults
2005, Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North AmericaGrowth and bone density in children with mild-moderate asthma: A cross-sectional study in children entering the Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP)
2003, Journal of PediatricsCitation Excerpt :However, the relationship between asthma severity and growth delay is not fully established. Some studies report no correlation with measures of asthma severity,7,8 whereas others suggest that only those patients with more severe disease have growth restriction.10,23 This is in part because of the lack of a universally accepted measure of asthma severity.
Effect of inhaled glucocorticoids in childhood on adult height
2012, New England Journal of MedicineCitation Excerpt :We found that a longer time since asthma diagnosis at trial entry and atopy (any positive skin test) were independent risk factors for shorter adult height (Table S3 in the Supplementary Appendix). Other investigators have reported an increased incidence of short stature in children with atopy and asthma.30–32 One of these studies31 showed that short stature was associated with an early onset of asthma (before the age of 3 years), a finding that is consistent with our data.
